I'm not a Windozer, so I can't speak to the port for that platform. However, the conversation here seems strange to me. Have you actually read the instructions on the open-mpi.org web site?
Looks pretty simple to me. You download the .exe installer for either 32 or 64 bits, and run it. You don't build OMPI from source - the distro contains everything you need to just run. See: http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.6/ for the software and some Windows notes. On Jun 13, 2012, at 1:20 PM, Trent Creekmore wrote: > I just gave up and stuck with Unix/Linux.
